Background: DH,me, DS(17), DS(14).
We were heading down to FLL for February break. DS(14) kept begging if we could go to Disney for 1 day. I kept telling him to talk to his dad because I was already there. So DH finally agrees
and I actually convinced him that instead of driving 3 hours, hitting the parks and then spending the night that we should leave one day earlier and enjoy the hotel, which he agreed to also. 
The plan is to do 4 parks in 1 day…yes I said 4 parks in 1 day. 
We have php tkts from a previous trip and we used DVC points for the hotel and added the DxDP.
So we leave FLL Monday morning Feb 18, get to AKL check in and go have lunch at Beaches and Cream. Dinner is at Boma with friends who just moved down to the Orlando area. We get to bed around 11 and set up a wake up call for 6:30.
I didn’t sleep well all night…guess I was excited. So at 6 I take a shower and head down to Mara to get some coffee. When I get back everyone else is up and ready to go.
Drum Roll ~~~~our 1 day 4 park marathon trip report
We were the second ones to check in for our 7:30 breakfast at Boma. We ate quickly since everyone was excited to head out to AK for EE. Since DH and I were not going on the boys ran ahead to it but it was down,
they decided not to wait since they didn’t know how long.
So, we hopped back in the car and headed to Hollywood and walked on to Great Movie Ride, Star Tours, Muppet 3D. DS(17) had run to get fastpasses for Rock n Roller Coaster. He and I did not go on Muppet 3D so instead we went to RnR instead. I went on once with him and he 2 more times since DH and DS(14) didn’t want to go on anymore.
We debated on taking the car to Epcot or the boat. Since dinner was at Tutto Italia we figured it would be the same distance so we took the boat over to Epcot and had a few minutes to relax. DS(17) runs ahead and gets the fastpasses for Soarin. We meet up at Test Track and have about a ½ hour wait. After that the boys head over to Mission Space, DH and I are no way doing it calm side or not. We went into Mouse Gears and what seemed like nothing, actually about 45 min, the boys joined us. We head over to Soarin and walk right in with the Fastpass. We then head over to the new Nemo ride since DH hadn’t seen it and had about 20 minute wait. After that we head over to Spaceship Earth (don’t remember the wait, sorry) it wasn’t long and we all love the new ride. Our dinner reservations at Tutto Italia were for 6:30 and we get there sometime after 5. They seat us within 5 minutes and have a wonderful dinner.

After dinner we head back to pick up the car and go to MK. At MK we did POTC, HM, Laugh Factory, Buzz, and the boys did SM. By this point we were cooked at least I was. I had wanted to see Wishes but just couldn’t make it. The day had started out nice but by this time it was pretty cold out. The rest of the family all had sweatshirts but I had left mine in the car and purchased a poncho from POTC. The sweatshirts in there where around $50
The next morning we go to Kona for breakfast. Back to the hotel to pack everything up. Head to DTD for some shopping and to use up our snack credits at Goofy's Candy Store....yum yum. Have lunch at Capn Jack and head back to FLL.
Our 1 day tour was great because we did all the rides we really wanted to, except for seeing Wishes.
Would we do it again….absolutely. Just to get some magic even for a short time….priceless.
